The Imboden area charter school in northeast Arkansas now has 6 acoustic guitars and two more are on the way, all thanks to the school's music teacher who applied for a grant from the Fender guitar corporation.

Teacher, Mike Mcleod, said this will allow students to "pic" up a new hobby and help students academically.

"There is a strong correlation between music and mathematics with timing and different aspects. They feel good about school, they feel good about themselves and that's very important in any school" said McLeod.
